From Forty-fourth and L streets tha hair
fields were moved to a patch of ground on
the river bank.' Then an attempt waa made
to dry har on tha ground west of Cudahy's.
The company was forced to move, and then
it secured a dosen acrea of ground In Sarpy
county. The farmera objected, and Mr.
Allison says that be will atop doing busi

down, too disgusted to run. But the other
fifteen gameatera alt tried to get out of
the back door at the same time and hurt
themselves; got Jammed . and rebounded
Into the room with sufficient force to npset
the heating atove. Two men, however, got
out, one being later caught on Sixteenth
street, pretending to be a guileless pedes
trian, and the other a chimney sweep by
profession, probably going up the flue.
There were five officers and they were not

police confiscated two tables and an outfit
of chips and cards. The catch when
searched gave up $265.

of Idleness, to make necessary repairs and
to prepare finished products for shipment.
After tha Textile council meeting Presi
dent Conroy said plans had been perfected
for a long siege. He also said he bad been
asked to furnish thirty or forty weavers
for a mill outside the state and would send

halls has been given to the Textile council
without cost and these placet will be fitted
up as reading rooms. Fourteen meetings

It may have been the voice of Edmond
Dantea we heard at the Boyd theater last
night, but the hand was certainly that of
Pete Qultllani. The debonnair count of the
Mountain of Christ Is completely lost In
the rough exterior of the Manxman, half
Usher, half-farmer, wholly bumpkin; the
savor of tbe original salt being lost en
tirely In precipitate which Hall Caine de
rives from his resolution of primal pas
sions with certsln hypothetical moral at
tributes aa reagents. The play doesn't
make so clear as does the book the loutish
nes of Pete, nor the crimlnsl weskness of
Philip, nor tbe moon-sickness of Kate; but
It doea endow Pete, soft-hearted and pig
headed Pete, with a preternatural patience
and a capacity for forgiveness that may
be ideal, but is not the more desirable on
that account. Herein again doea Pete
QuIUiam differ not only from Edmond
Dantes, but from the typical man of the
land of tailless eats. In his other stories,
notably "The Deemster" and "The Bond
man," Mr. Calne has acquainted us with
the Manxman's capacity for and persistency
in personally righting his personal griev
ances; sedulous pursuit of revenge being
carried to an extreme by thla peculiar
people, who partook In a general way of
the traits of the seversl races by whom
the Island waa originally peopled and
whose descendants lost little of their
original conception of the doctrine of
meuni et tuum. In the present Instance
It has pleased Mr. Calno to argue that good
may come out of Narareth, and that any
one of the three legs of Man may be used
to support a novel theory for a novel pur
pose. It very likely makes a much better
play, certainly a longer one, to have the
wronged Peter, Instead of pursuing a Cor
slcan vendetta upon his enemies, killing
some and confounding the others, turn
moralist In the end, and. Instead of de
stroying the man who had destroyed his
home, give utterance to a series of plati
tudinous commonplaces, and then forgive
the great wrong done him. This Isn't Mr.
Calne's first offense in this direction; be
has never yet presented a natural man or
woman, and In all likelihood he never wilt.
But this Is not the actor' fault.
Mr. O'Neill finds a part well worthy in
many ways his admitted ability as an
actor, and gives it his careful and undivided
attention. He makes of Pete a character
that could easily be admired were it not
for the very fact that be Is like all similar
characters in fiction, "too good to be true."
In the lighter passages of the part Mr.
O'Neill finds splendid opportunity for the
exhibition of his natural ability as a high
comedian; and In the more serious situa
tions he assumes a dignity of demeanor
and gravity of expression that clothes
Pete with a nature that is certainly as
much as Mr. Calne could have wished for
his humble and unhappy hero.
May Buckley has the role of Kate
Cregeen, and Interprets It with satis
factory expression. It Is a part that exacts
much of the actressL but one which re
wards patient effort. Joseph Kllgour aa
Philip Christian endows the part with
enough of selfishness and lack of consid
eration tor othere to make It quite an
excellent foil for Pete, and Ross Christian
In the hands of Frank A. Connor becomes
just the sort of scamp needed to make tbe
picture oomplete. The rest of the cast Is
competent. The production Is complete,
too, the scenery being designed especially
after Isle of Man models and tbe settings
being equally appropriate. The theater
was well filled last night, and the play
was well received. Another performance
of "The Manxman" will be given thle
evening.
Vandevllle at tha Cretchtoa-Orpheam.
It's a laughing bill at the Crelghton-
Orpheum this week; all of the act con
tribute something to the general causation
for hilarity, and aome of them ar what Is
technically termed "a scream." This is
especially true of Reno and Richards, a
pair of comedy acrobats, who have their
own way of making fun while doing aome
difficult feata. Mr. Ryan and Miss Rich
field add to this with their little skit,
"Mag Haggertys Father," the old story
of a horny-handed Irishman and bis high-
headed daughter getting Into a swell hotel.
It Is freshened up In many ways, and gives
much evidence of honest effort to produce
laughter by legitimate means, an attempt
that Is well rewarded by results. Louise
Montrose sings and dances In a way not
at all familiar, but which 1 very taking.
Florence Bindley 1 the real headllner of
the show. She 1 billed as the "girl with
the diamond dress," but doesn't require
this mods of introduction, for her act ia a
good one and would go with any old kind
of a dress. Her singing Is good and her
performance on a xylophone Is excellent.
Franco Piper not only plays the banjo,
but Juggles It aa well, and while be Juggle
three of the Instruments, keeping two in
the air and one in his bands, he manages
to preserve more than a semblance to a
tun. A a musical act It Is a real sensa
tion. Sailor and Barbette have some good
songs and add quit a little to the humor
of the evening. The pictures In the kino-
drome are unusually Interesting, the
mountain scenery shown In an ascent of
Mont Blane being particularly good. Good
houses were present at both performances
yesterday.

Suicide.
LONDON, March 29.-A remarkable dem
onstration accompanied the dispatch of the
remains of .Major General Sir Hector Mac
donald to Scotland tonight, owing to the
fact that his widow haa fixed the burial for
6 In the morning.
Hundreds of Scotchmen, representing the
Highland societies, and several Scotch mem
bers of Parliament, gathered on the plat
form of the Kings Cross station. Moet of
the Scotchmen wore their national cos
tumes, wreathes were placed on the coffin
In the name of the different clans and tba
pipers played national dirges as the body
was entrained.
All attempta to persuade the widow to
delay the Interment and permit Highland
ers to arrange for a national funeral hay
ing failed, a large number of influential
Scotchmen adjourned to the hotel In the
railway station and held a meeting of pro
test. Scotch members of Parliament and
ethers made speechee, and a resolution was
adopted urging the lord provost of Edin
burgh to renew the efforts to have the fu
neral postponed.
The general's remains arrived In London
at 7 thla morning accompanied only by Sir
Hector's elder brother, his cousin, who Is a
clergyman, and an undertaker. Nobody
was at the station to meet them and the
body, enclosed in a plain wooden packing
case bearing the stenciled Inscription, "H.
A. M., Edinburgh," waa driven unnoticed
through London to the Kings Cross rail
way atatlon In a on-hora parcel van, the
tarpaulin of which was decorated with a
flaunting seaside advertisement.
The coffin was removed to the baggage
car of the train. In which It lay throughout
the day. Prior to the starting of the train.
Lady Jeune, wife of Sir Francis Jeune, who
comes of the Seaforth family of Stewart
MacKenzle, brought some roses and placed
them on the coffin.
Scotchmen are indignant at the incon
gruity of the whole affair and the refusal
of the War office to be connected with the
funeral.
INDUSTRIES FOR ISLANDERS
(Continued from First Page.)
taken out of the bands of the first assistant
entirely, and the office of money orders,
which Is now under the first assistant, Mr.
Wynne believes, should be assigned to the
third assistant's office. Tbe division of
postofflce Inspectors and mall depredations,
according to Mr. Wynne, should be trans
ferred from the fourth assistant postmaster
general to the first assistant's office," as
well as the division of appointments. The
first assistant had charge of the division
of appointments up to Cleveland's second
term, when, for reaaons best known to
Cleveland, the appointment division was
changed from the first to the fourth as
sistant postmaster general, and he became
what was known as the "headsman of the
administration." Logically, It would seem
as If the first assistant postmaster general
should have charge of appolntmenta, of
salaries and allowances, and all postofflce
supplies. In view of the fact that the first
assistant stands next to the postmaster
general himself and 1 recognised by law
as his Immediate successor. Mr. Wynne,
who has been In the Postofflce department
for a year or more, ha In that time ac
quired a very general knowledge of hi
department and the change which he sug
gest are those of a thinking man. who,
realizing the need of the service, desires
to crystallise the work of the aeveral de
partments so that the beat possible results
may be obtained and with Mr. Wynne's
known ability, his tireless energy and his
determination to bring about these needed
reforms. It to believed that the Postofflce
department will see radical changea during
the next flsoal year, especially in the sev
eral bureau assigned to each on of tbe
office nov presided over by an assistant
postmaster general.

Th "conscience fund" of the Vnlted

finally they came opposite the door of As
sistant Secretary Taylor. A halt In the
procession was called by the gentleman
from Wisconsin, who surprised the guide
by the familiarity of his surroundings, say
ing: "Why, this Is Hod Taylor's office. I
want to see him." He was ushered Into
the office and approached the genial assist
ant secretary with extended hand, while
the women of tbe party stood In th back
ground. "Hello, Hod," exclaimed the Wolverine;
"Just saw your sign above the door and
the thought struck me to just drop In and
pay old Uncle Sam $1,200 I owe him," at
the same time digging Into his lefthand
trousers pocket and producing a roll suffi
cient In quantity to strangle a Cardiff
giant.
'What's thatr asked tbe assistant sec
retary. Who did not thoroughly grasp the
situation. "Money long green aee owe
to government Spanish war claim, so to
speak want to pay up, you know; beat
the government on revenue stamps, to the
tune of $1,100 during our latest unpleasant
ness. Now want to make good."
Assistant Secretary Taylor, whose senss
of smell Is rather keen, said to his caller l
"Well, you had better aee the commissioner
of Internal revenue about that," and turn
ing to hla messenger said: "John, eon-
duct this gentleman to Commissioner
Yerkes."
The gentleman from Wisconsin with his
roll bowed profoundly and with hla band
somely gowned wife and daughter waa es
corted from the office of Mr. Taylor. They
had not gone very many steps in the direc
tion of Commissioner Terkes' office, how
ever, before the gentleman, concluded bs
had business of a serious character else
where, and rather abruptly left tbe treas
ury building, carrying with him bis con
science and Its contribution.

themselves pacing these auto, and when
the chauffeur exceeds twelve miles per

to make an arrest. The safety of Ufa and

policeman, scenting an easy mark, fol
lowed, soon caught up and distanced the
auto. The chauffeur, being somewhat cha
grined that a man on a bike should pass
him, loosed a few links and the great, cum
bersome machine responded Instantly and
shot along over the asphalt so rapidly as to
very soon catch the policeman on his wheel
and pass hlra. Then began a race, extend
ing over several hundred yards, resulting

In proximity sufficient to reveal his au
thority and demand th chauffeur to halt.
The arrest was made and the auto slowly
escorted to the nearest police station,
where a charge of driving an auto In excess
of the speed limit was preferred, and after
the usual questions a demand of $5 for
collateral was made.
The chauffeur waa ready, but the smallest
bill he apparently possessed was a half
century, and as no one about tbe station
could change It, the chauffeur suggested
he would step across to a neighboring bank
and break the bill. Thla was agreed to
and the erstwhile prisoner was permitted
to go forth to-secure change to make good
his collateral. The auto stood calmly
awaiting a master hand and the tempta
tion waa too great tor the chauffeur, who
jumped In, pulled the lever and was
whisked away quicker than a wink.
And he hasn't come back with tbe $5.

from the snowstorm of last week, but. In
fact, a decided benefit to the northern por

snowfall for tbe entire winter, and In which
section the water question was becoming
a troublesome one. The last week's snow
in that section was much heavier than It
was farther south and east In the state,
and supplied the desired moisture, which
the warmer weather following melted and
filled the water holes, and put that por
tion of the range in first-class shape.
